No Good Deed...

A Tale of the Unexpected

By: Guy Veryzer

Narrated by: Linda Mooney

Sometimes doing a good deed can go horribly wrong...

My name is Linda Almond and I am an interior decorator in New York City and elsewhere. I bought a small home in Portland, Maine, to renovate for my future retirement, but now that I've bought it, I can't afford to retire...or give up my Manhattan loft that I have lived in since the early days of Soho in the 1970s. I am single and I used to have several cats, but they have passed on and I haven't replaced them because I've been doing so much traveling. I have two good friends, Janet and Stan, who moved to Maine before me. I am glad to have them already there as friends in a new place. One day, Janet calls me from Portland and asks if I can do her a favor.... Can I look after a friend's cats....

I Enjoyed this Short Story

I really enjoyed listening to this short story. It left me wanting more. I found it sad the cats passed away after their owner, but happy in the thought that they're all happy and together again.

Mad

I enjoyed the story up to a point where it just made me so mad that the ending was written the way it was.
